On Watchdog on Wall Street, he breaks down rising costs—mortgage interest, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and repairs—and argues that government subsidies and policies have distorted housing prices. He also questions the idea of owning a home outright, calling it a bundle of rising expenses and “usage rights,” and compares it to investing in assets like stocks that don’t come with ongoing bills.
